Chapter 17: The Story of the Treasure Hunt for the Gold Maple Leaf Coins
After a few days of running-in, the former high school detective has been seamlessly integrated into the daily life of a first-grader of elementary school students.
"That's amazing!"
The exclamations of his classmates continued to echo in his ears, and Conan also watched the treasures with great interest.
Early this morning, the trio of Mitsuhiko Motota visited the Maori Detective Agency and semi-forcibly took Conan, who was going to finish watching Asuka Togawa's work at home.
Although the treasure show is good, but these imps ...... Conan glanced at the three people who were shouting on the side, and complained silently.
Out of the art museum.
"In this world, there are still many treasures waiting to be discovered!"
With the knowledge of high school students, Conan popularized the situation of treasure hunting activities to elementary school students, and the three children were fascinated by it.
Neither adults nor children can resist the act of searching for possible treasures according to a treasure map.
"Well, let's go find the treasure too!"
Yuan Tai raised his hands and excitedly proposed.
"Yuantai, the treasure is not something that can be found casually, and we don't have a treasure map." Mitsuhiko pours cold water on the excited Motota, forcing him to return to reality from his fantasy.
"I thought about what I would do with it after I found the treasure......" At the moment he spoke, the little fat man Yuantai's mind was full of the aroma of eel rice.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, and a note spun and slapped directly on Yuantai's face.
"Damn, who is so immoral, littering ......" He tore down the note, and before he could finish his subconscious questioning, he was attracted by the mysterious pattern on it.
"Is this ...... Hide, treasure map! He shouted.
The attention of the others was drawn to his shout.
"That's right, it's definitely a treasure map." Little Lori Ayumi carefully looked at the pattern on the note, and although she didn't find any useful information, it didn't prevent her from making judgments.
Conan was also interested in treasure hunting, but he didn't think that a random note falling from the sky would be a treasure map.
He also figured out the pattern on it and said, "This should just be a graffiti drawn by someone." ”
"Conan! Ayumi said that this is a treasure map, so it must be that there will be nothing wrong with a treasure map! Mitsuhiko, a little boy with freckles on his face, had a bit of the demeanor of licking a dog at a young age, and stood firmly in the team of the only girl in the trio.
In the face of the doubts of elementary school students, what can Shinichi Kudo do?
"That...... I'm going back to reading! ”
Looking at the three people who gradually have a tendency to go treasure hunting, Conan can only say that he still has something to do, he is a high school student, and he can't really hang out with elementary school students all the time.
And after telling Dr. Asasa about the identity of the best-selling author of Asuka Togawa, he paid for the complete set of more than ten novels by Togawa.
He also thought about reading all these books during the school holidays.
"No, we're a team!" Motota grabbed Conan, who wanted to sneak away, and used his size advantage to tell the latter a tragic truth, that is, he, the Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era, the savior of the Japanese police, and a talented high school detective, was now powerless in front of elementary school students.
"I've decided, our four-person squad is called the Junior Detective Corps, and I'll be the leader!"
When the treasure map was accidentally obtained, the organization that profoundly affected the future, the Junior Detective Corps, was established in a sentence from Yuantai.
"Hah...... Ha. ”
Conan, who struggled to no avail, laughed dryly, reluctantly accepted the reality, and walked up after the three of them.
After using their detective knowledge, they found Tokyo Tower as the starting point for this treasure hunt.
......
in the castle.
"There will be a problem with funding...... Shiho Miyano learns the grim reality from Asuka Togawa after proposing the idea of rebuilding a biological laboratory in the castle.
That is one of the cadres of the organization, who lives in a luxurious castle in Togawa Asuka, who is actually not as wealthy as he imagined.
Of course, this does not mean that Asuka Togawa is poor, and as a best-selling author plus a member of a criminal syndicate, he has a wealth that is difficult for ordinary families to reach after a lifetime of hard work.
It's just that this amount is still a drop in the bucket compared to building a high-standard laboratory from scratch - of course, his wealth was once completely sufficient, but when he studied his own power at will a few years ago, he unfortunately created a grotesque who loves to devour things......
The situation was particularly tragic at the time, and after that, Tokawa was much more cautious in his attempts.
"Why don't you just move the equipment from the lab I stayed in before?" Shiho Miyano suggested.
Under the stop of Akemi Miyano, Shiho Miyano did not accept the power of Asuka Togawa for the time being, but this does not mean that she chose to sacrifice her sister.
After determining that Akemi Miyano would not transform into a magic tree in a short period of time, she decided to use scientific means to analyze the power of the grotesque, so as to create a drug that would restore her sister to her original state.
Science is not the truth, science is a method and means to understand the world.
In this world, existence is reasonable, as long as the law behind existence can be found and used through the appropriate method, just as the ancient people regarded lightning and thunder as the anger of the gods, while modern people can analyze the principle.
In the face of such a grotesque existence, Miyano Shiho, as a modern scientist, naturally does not equate it with a monster that cannot be studied, and conducts research like a natural phenomenon such as wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which is the attitude that a scientist should have when facing something incomprehensible.
As for her idea, Asuka Togawa chose to support it.
Rather than using power with a half-understanding, he wants to know the whole of this power and use it without hindrance.
Shiho Miyano's choice allows him to observe the nature of his power from another angle, and he has no loss without a result, and a result in his favor.
If Shiho Miyano can really make a drug that turns the grotesque back into a human, it also means that Asuka Togawa also has the means to reset himself.
His first test subject was himself, and now Togawa Asuka is essentially one of his creations, and as a grotesque, he will also be constrained by the core rules, even if he restricts the core rules by means, but at certain times, he will still be forced to act according to the core rules.
With that kind of drug, Yuanchuan is equivalent to having a prop to wash points in the game, and through repeated attempts, he can always match himself with a perfect core rule.
Not to mention, isn't it nice to see that the subject decides to study on his own?
"Just move here?"
Asuka Togawa considered Shiho Miyano's proposal for a moment, and after a moment he shook his head, "Forget it, let's save some face for Gin." ”
"I'll let my subordinates solve the problem of funding."
